Mercedes-Benz has initiated a voluntary recall for its 2013 SL-class due to an issue with the air-conditioning system.

Under “worst-case condition” testing during a severe front impact, a rupture of the refrigerant line is possible, which could cause a fire in the engine compartment. According to the report from Mercedes Benz, the refrigerant does not ignite under normal conditions.

The number of vehicles that could be included amounts to 432, and owners will begin to be notified in October. Dealers were notified on Sept. 25.
